Magical Potions,[1] also called Magic Potions[2][3][4][5] or simply Potions,[6] are items in Super Mario Bros. 2, resembling a flask with a bubbling liquid inside. They replaced the Magic Lamps from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Magical Potions in Super Mario Bros. 2 can be picked up and thrown to the ground to create a temporary door from which the player character can enter Subspace. Magical Potions cannot create doors within a jar, over another door, or on unstable surfaces like quicksand.
BS Super Mario USA[edit]
Magical Potions are items in BS Super Mario USA. They are necessary to find Wart in one of Subspace's jars as he is always hidden in these dimensions.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]
A Magical Potion is sometimes pulled out by King Koopa at the end of an episode in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, usually when he is outmatched by Mario's group, in episodes such as "Bad Rap" and "Mario Meets Koop-zilla" and throws it, creating a Warp Zone for him to escape. The episode "Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers" introduces two types of potions called the Magic Shrink Potion and Magic Growing Potion.
Magical Potions appear in the following episodes:
- King Mario of Cramalot
- The Adventures of Sherlock Mario
- On Her Majesty's Sewer Service
- Hooded Robin and His Mario Men
- Mario Meets Koop-zilla
- The Unzappables
- Bad Rap
- Karate Koopa
- Raiders of the Lost Mushroom
Super Mario-kun[edit]
A Magical Potion has appeared in volume 8 of Super Mario-kun briefly, where Luigi tries to give it to Mario to try and help him defeat Tryclyde. Toad has also used the Magical Potion in a fight with Wart. He enters the door the potion creates and then gives powerups to aid Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi during the fight, including Super Leaves, P-Wings, and Frog Suits.
Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]
In Doors to Doom, when Mario and Luigi escape a stampede of Ninjis by jumping off a cliff while using a parasol to safely float down, they decide to escape by revealing a bottle of Magic Potion from a tuft of grass. However, this particular bottle of potion creates a door which has a lock displaying a shoelace puzzle on it. Mario and Luigi must solve the puzzle and push the correct button in order to escape the area; pushing the incorrect button makes the door lead them to an encounter where they get shot point-blank by a Shy Guy riding an Autobomb, leading to a Game Over.
Profiles[edit]
Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
